With an original score by Don Davis (composer for all three Matrix films) the soundtrack also includes a mind bending collection of tracks from some of electronica's best producers, Juno Reactor, Layo and Bushwacka, Junkie XL and Meat Beat Manifesto. Also included are vocals from 'The Matrix' leads Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Included in the 180 minutes of entertainment is an array of features.
